At daybreak, Gu Sheng was performing the corpse lying outside Qi Yan’s hut.

　　Just as Jiang Yun said, “No one will disturb them tonight.”

　　So Gu Sheng was forced to practice “sword” with him all night. Now, all he could see was the two branches of himself and Jiang Yun waving in front of him.

　　Oh no, not two.

　　Gu Sheng raised his eyelids with difficulty. There were countless broken branches piled on the ground beside him.

　　Most of them were his, and only a few of them were used by Jiang Yun. The reason they were broken was that they accidentally fell to the ground and were stepped on by Gu Sheng.

　　So sleepy.

　　Gu Sheng stared at the sky with his eyes blankly, and his stomach was still clamoring in protest.

　　He mechanically turned his head to look inside the house, moved his nose, and didn’t smell any rice.

　　A shadow fell on his head.

　　”Gu Sheng, get up.”

　　Gu Sheng silently turned his head to one side.

　　Above, Jiang Yun called softly, as if it was not him who had tortured Gu Sheng so badly last night that he couldn’t get up this morning.

　　”Boss…”

　　Gu Sheng was silent for two seconds, perhaps because he wanted to pay attention to Jiang Yun. He turned his head back and looked at Jiang Yun with pitiful eyes.

　　”Can we have a meal before leaving?”

　　He did not forget what they discussed last night, saying that they would set off for the capital at dawn. A few horse hoof sounds were heard not far away at the right time. Gu Sheng turned his head and saw that the person leading the horse in front was Qi Yan.

　　Jiang Yun’s words came from above his head without mercy.

　　”No.”

　　Gu Sheng:…

　　Gu Sheng rolled on the ground and got on the carriage reluctantly.

　　——In order to avoid meeting “acquaintances” on the way to the capital, Qi Yan specially told the hired driver that he would take them on a small road this time.

　　The driver looked at the bookish man in front of him suspiciously, and his face warmed up after receiving the high price from the other party.

　　At the end, he patted his chest and said, “As long as the price is right, the route is easy to negotiate!”

　　The four-wheeled carriage was driving slowly on the road. In the carriage, Jiang Yun and Qi Yan sat opposite each other.

　　Beside Jiang Yun, Gu Sheng, who could no longer hold on, was sleeping on his shoulder.

　　Most of the dust that had rolled on the ground before had now been transferred to Jiang Yun. Qi Yan raised his eyes and saw that he was shaking off the dust on the corner of his clothes without caring, and at the same time, he did not forget to straighten Gu Sheng’s sliding body.

　　This scene made Qi Yan mutter out loud, “The relationship between the two of you is so good.”

　　Jiang Yun raised his eyes and curled his lips slightly, “Are you envious?”

　　Qi Yan nodded silently.

　　He did envy the relationship between Jiang Yun and Gu Sheng. After all, since Qi Yan could remember, he and his younger brother Qi Ye had disliked each other.

　　The way the two people in front of him get along is something he can’t ask for.

　　Thinking of this, Qi Yan lowered his head sadly, his eyes falling on the corner of his clothes.

　　This is the clothes that were burned when he tried to save his mother during the last fire. They were the clothes that his mother made for him. Unfortunately, the fire eventually killed his mother.

　　The attitude of other elders in the family was also average towards them, so no one cared about their life or death at that time…

　　Qi Yan covered his forehead with both hands, and scattered memories ran wild in his mind.

　　Jiang Yun looked at Qi Yan’s expression silently, and the teasing words that he was about to say turned around in his mouth and were swallowed back.

　　He was not good at comforting people, so he could only sit there and wait for Qi Yan to heal himself.

　　Qi Yan did not waste too much time. After adjusting himself, he raised his head and looked at Jiang Yun with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

　　”Jiang Yun.”

　　He pronounced the other party’s name word by word, as if he had read it countless times.

　　”Have we met before?”

　　Hearing the other party’s words, Jiang Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, did not reply immediately, and spoke after a while.

　　”Brother Qi, do you think we have met before?”

　　Normal people would say no.

　　But Qi Yan was immersed in his own thoughts at this time, and did not realize the inappropriateness of Jiang Yun’s words. He shook his head immediately.

　　”I should have never seen it.”

　　”But.” Qi Yan changed the subject and looked at the two faces that appeared countless times in his dream.

　　”Although I can confirm that I have never seen you in reality, I have seen you countless times in my dreams.”

　　And it was before I met you.

　　Qi Yan originally thought that his words would be very shocking to Jiang Yun, but after looking at him, Qi Yan found that his expression was very calm.

　　”In a dream?”

　　He glanced at Qi Yan lightly, as if to confirm whether the other party was a reborn person like him.

　　The answer is no, but the dream Qi Yan said…

　　”What scene is in the dream?”

　　”I seem to be a member of a force called ‘Heaven and Earth Society’, and you are casual cultivators who have mistakenly entered here.” Qi Yan lowered his head and thought, and the familiar name made Jiang Yun pay more attention to what he said.

　　”There was another woman in the dream, she…” Qi Yan covered his head halfway through his words. He was originally recalling the woman’s appearance, but he had a splitting headache when he started to recall it.

　　His memory didn’t want him to remember it, but the woman had basically appeared in the entire dream, so Qi Yan had to skip the entire process in the middle and go straight to the end.

　　”Let’s not talk about the woman for now.”

　　He rubbed his forehead, which was still a little swollen and painful, and slowly told the part he could remember.

　　”In the later part of the dream, I, you, and Gu Sheng, the three of us were pretty good friends.”

　　The other party’s eyes wandered between Jiang Yun and Gu Sheng, not landing on the real thing. Perhaps because he tried to recall the woman again, Qi Yan’s head hurt again. In the end, he gave up thinking about it and tremblingly said the ending of the dream.

　　”At the end of the dream, I died.”

　　Qi Yan said this sentence lightly, but the scene of death had been played countless times in his dream, so many times that Qi Yan couldn’t tell the reality several times.

　　Jiang Yun naturally knew why the other party died. After all, this was something that really happened in his previous life.

　　But he didn’t expose it, instead he stroked his chin thoughtfully: “We are friends in the dream, is this why you trust me and Gu Sheng so much?”

　　”Mostly.” Qi Yan nodded.

　　Jiang Yun only then really believed that Qi Yan was really stupid.

　　He trusted them so much just because of a dream that didn’t exist in reality.

　　He raised his head and looked at Qi Yan again, with a complicated look on his face.

　　I really want to know how Qi Yan, with his simple mind, has survived until now.

　　Qi Yan looked at the increasingly strange expression on the other side and blinked silently.

　　The other party should not doubt him anymore, so why would he still show such an expression?

　　Qi Yan gritted his teeth and explained: “Brother Jiang, if you don’t believe in that dream, it’s fine, but please believe that I am on your side.”

　　Jiang Yun nodded: “Yeah.”

　　He didn’t doubt this, otherwise he wouldn’t be in the carriage rented by Qi Yan now.

　　But according to the time, the group of people should be catching up.

　　”Qi Yan, squat down.”

　　Jiang Yun held Gu Sheng with one hand and hid under the chair. When he was free, he reminded Qi Yan on the opposite side. As soon as the voice fell, “What…” Qi Yan didn’t understand.

　　But the next second.

　　”Swoosh!” An arrow broke through the curtain of the carriage and pierced into the carriage.

　　Qi Yan was frightened and trembled. He pressed his body against the carriage and stared at the arrow on the ground with wide eyes.

　　”What… is going on?”

　　The group of people actually followed them?
